As part of a keyword research project, I stumbled upon some weird new Cannabis names which seem to becoming really popular.
The Cannabis industry is taking off fast in the US. The number of Motley Fool ads I see in my Facebook feed urging me to not miss the Cannabis boom, triggered me to do some more research.
As a native Dutchman, I grew up with coffeeshops all around us. Not a big deal in Amsterdam. The weed business was decriminalized which is better for everybody.
Now that the USA states one by one are taking the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Colorado, and raise some serious tax on the Marijuana sales, the number of new strains are exploding.
Naming the Strains
What makes a strain popular. It’s not only the level of THC, if it’s an Indica or a Sativa or a Hybrid; or its effect on you when you consume the cannabis. The name is a powerful brand to drum up popularity.
Just imagine, there is even a movie called Pineapple Express; which is all about this monster powerful bud of weed that gets these two guys in all sorts of trouble running from the bad guys. Here you can see what a bad ass bud the Pineapple Express strain really is.
With more strains being crossed, new names make their entry. Here is a list of names I found funny, and you can learn the linage of every strain.
- Alaskan Thunder Fuck strain
- Grand Daddy Purple strain
- Green Crack strain
- Orange Crush strain
- Larry OG strain
- Blue Diesel strain
- Blackberry Kush strain
- King Louie og
- Platinum Bubba Kush
- OG Skywalker
- Scooby Snacks strain
There seems to be a common theme here. Either the strain is named after some sort of desert. A cookie, like the Thin Mint strain, or just plane Ice cream like the Gelato strain.
